Young Israel Urges Jews Not To Walk Home Alone
In the wake of the Jew-hating shooting in Kansas, the National Council of Young Israel, an Orthodox network, is urging Jews, on the last days of Passover, not to walk home alone from synagogue.
With all due respect to Young Israel, that advice is just silly and only reinforces victimhood.
Do you honestly think that a Jew-hating murderer is going to be deterred by two or more unarmed Jews strolling to or from synagogue?
Hardly. In fact, the more unarmed Jews the better his chances of killing someone.
Seraphic Secret has a much better idea: Jews should exercise their Second Amendment rights.
Don’t be a defenseless target.
By the time the police arrive, their only job is to chalk white outlines in the street.

Obama’s Perversion of Religious Liberty and Persecution of Religious People
Freedom of religion. We take it for granted.
This past Friday evening, Karen lit candles, ushering in Shabbat.. Openly wearing my kippah,, I walked to shul and prayed with scores of friends and neighbors. After prayers, Karen and I sat down to a joyous dinner where we sang Shabbat songs and expressed gratitude to G-d for all he has given us.
Karen and I did all this without fear.
My grandfather, Rabbi Shmuel Avrech, lived in fear as a pious Jew in the Pale of Settlement. Would the flickering Shabbat candles invite a rock or a Molotov cocktail thrown through his window? Perhaps the sight of my grandfather and other Torah-observant Jews would enrage neighbors who would shriek “Christ-killer,” and the state-incited/sanctioned pogrom would follow.
